I don't know how well that scales. Should those on welfare get 0 dollar tickets? Should someone who works 100 hours a week get the same ticket as someone who works 10 hours a week, if they have the same net worth? How do you take into account old people who need to have a high net worth so they can live indefinitely off of investments?
Socialists never cared about the nuance of progressive ticketing, just the money
As far as I can tell. socialists want to make it all about how much money you MAKE. This comment about net worth is the first I've heard of it. Socialists do this a lot because the people they hate the most are people who actually work as opposed to people who just have money. A lot of people who just have money are socialists. If that makes any sense.
Make the ticket based on how much you make in the next week.
A rich guy can take the week off, and think about what he's done. The rich anti-gov guy will take the week off, or work under the table. The statist will keep working.
The poor guy works paycheck to paycheck. Doesn't have a choice, has to work through the week, and give up his 10%.
No offense, but I'm not sure how that makes things fairer. I think, um, fines are just stupid. Unless it's restitution for something you can actually make up for like littering. Otherwise it's just revenuing. If it's bad enough throw somebody in jail for a weekend or make them do community service.
There was a show called taboo on natgeo, just before all the education type channels turned to total shit. There was an episode about different types of prisons around the world. The American system is fucked, where some asshole gets rich of others suffering. And just turns people into "better" criminals.
It doesn't make things fairer.
Was a thought i had. Thought it might be interesting to consider. Not actually try to make it happen.
Its more about the relative freedom someone has once they are financially secure..
Takes a little more writing to get the whole thought out than I want.. Not just speeding ticket, but everyday choices as a ticket, its a cost. Every mile you drive, $0.55 ticket. Not something the state did, that's a natural cost you can't escape (unless nigger, then you just steal it), gas, wear n tear, depreciating value, just something the state calculated, and decided to give you some credit for if you are set up for it, and tell them about all those miles...
Maybe not freedom for the richer people, but more choices or options available. Leads down an exponential path. Where more and better choices are available.
